A sequel, Template:Nihongo, was released for WiiWare in Japan on May 26, 2009, in North America on June 22, 2009 and in Europe on June 11, 2010.

Gameplay

In each puzzle the player is given an image which they then must try to recreate using only the following seven pieces:

• two identical right isosceles triangles, with sides length $1/2$ and hypotenuse of length $1/\sqrt{2}$
• four right trapezoids of various sizes - the side lengths are given with the first three sides creating the two right angles:
  • two have side lengths $1/4$, $1/4$, $1/2$, and $1/2\sqrt{2}$
  • one has side lengths $1/2\sqrt{2}$, $1/2\sqrt{2}$, $1/\sqrt{2}$, and $1/2$
  • one has side lengths $1/\sqrt{2}$, $1/2\sqrt{2}$, $3/2\sqrt{2}$, and $1/2$
• one home plate-like pentagon, with sides $1/2$, $1/2$, $1/2$, $1/2\sqrt{2}$, and $1/2\sqrt{2}$

The seven pieces form a rectangle of length 1 by 5/4.
